Guys, we have some pretty huge news. It turns out that Apple might've accidentally released some cool details about their upcoming phone, because a new leak suggests the iPhone 8 might come with infrared facial recognition. The leaked iPhone 8 news came along with a firmware release that Apple sent out for their upcoming HomePod, which is Apple's answer to devices like the Google Home and Amazon Echo.

The first person to notice the sensitive iPhone 8 information was Steven Troughton-Smith, who is a trusted iPhone developer. He tweeted about his discovery, and said,

I can confirm reports that HomePod's firmware reveals the existence of upcoming iPhone's infra-red face unlock in BiometricKit and elsewhere.

NY Mag reports the use of infrared technology — which is code named "Pearl"— might help the iPhone 8's facial technology work in low light settings in order to unlock the phone. But there is still no word on whether Pearl will work alone, or in conjunction with Touch ID.

It goes without saying, the Twitterverse is too excited about this news.

"...This is huge"

"It's really the flashy thing from men in black, so we won't remember this in a few minutes anyway…"

"Wow wow wow... this is huge, bigger than the Eiffel Tower"

Twitter user @_Inside also decoded some interesting information about the iPhone 8.

All of this basically means the iPhone 8 will be a lot sleeker than the phone that came before it.
